Great property. Our room was very large. Had all the comforts- big, fluffy towels, morning coffee, a large comfortable bed. Parking was first come first serve, but we always managed to grab a spot. Would stay here again and would recommend.

Short break in the Cotswolds

We liked the location and breakfast. We asked to be moved for our evening meal because it was noisy in the bar but the restaurant was quiet. The breakfast was good and the evening meal was okay. The stairs are difficult to climb with luggage and care must be taken. Our bed was comfortable and the bathroom was good although it is difficult to get into the shower in the Doe room if you have mobility issues. The staff are excellent.

Excellent location right in the center of town. The parking area in the back is tight. Breakfast and dinner at the pub were excellent. Nice coffee/tea set up in the room with fresh milk. Room could have been cleaner but it was adequate.

Quintessential Cotswolds, Old World charm, lovely pub with rooms above in a beautiful town. Check-in was easy and all staff were excellent. Breakfasts were delicious and filling. Parking out back which was great as the square out front gets very busy. Evening meals were excellent (don’t forget to book, it’s a busy town and places to eat are limited)! (If you’re not great with a lot of stairs I’d recommend checking with the hotel before booking your room, getting to some of the top floor rooms with luggage could be a struggle for some). We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

This is an historic pub/inn that is definitely unique. Rooms small, but workable. Because of the age of the building, lighting is dim and the path to guest rooms is not direct - up one set of stairs, down 3, up 2, down the hall, up another set of stairs. Not a lot of fun with luggage, but ok. Staff helpful. Because I am dealing with some vision issues, improved lighting especially on stairs would be a help. Continental breakfast included with room was sufficient. Dinner at the inn was quite good.

Can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful hotel right on the town square. Really warm, friendly welcome when we arrived. Had checked in online before we arrived so were given our keys and shown to our room. Room was on the small side (we stayed in Fawn) but really not a problem as we were out all day. Great bathroom and shower, tea and coffee making gear in the room and fresh water and milk in fridges around the hotel so just help yourself and so much better than cartons of UHT! Continental breakfast was included and there was loads of choice, cooked alternatives available to order all freshly made. Everything is within walking distance, some amazing restaurants nearby. Was actually disappointed we didn’t eat in the restaurant as the menu looked fab, again with loads of choices to suit everyone. Stow is so pretty, loads of tea rooms, pubs and shops to wander around. We visited Bourton and Burford, both within a 10-15 minute drive so it’s a great base for exploring. Sad to leave and we’ll definitely be back. Can’t fault the hotel or staff, nothing was too much trouble for them.

Good but not perfect.

The accommodation was in keeping with the character of the property, however, this meant our room was compact for a 5 night stay. The staff were very attentive and the service was very good, the inclusive breakfast offering was sufficient as we don't eat cooked breakfast. When eating in the hotel at night the food was very nice, but the vegetarian options were limited to 2 choices and remained the same during our stay which led to us eating twice in the hotel. One issue we did have was that every table was permanently set for dining and meant that there wasnt anywhere to use as a break out space to read a book etc... We would however, consider returning to the property at a quieter time and for a more sensible 2 to 3 night stay as we were assured in quieter times the seating in by the top bar wouldn't necessarily be set for dining. We are also more aware that larger rooms are available to book.

Shame

It started off well. Check in was great dinner on the Wednesday was lovely. I had booked dinner on the Thursday but did want the same dish (only two veggie options) I was assured the chef would sort. My table was booked for 8 it was quite busy and they had given my table away and suggested I sat in the restaurant (which was empty, not nice being in my own) the member of staff then informed me it was a different chef on duty who was not prepared to make even an omelette for me. I left to eat elsewhere. I won’t be returning.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was excellent - this was included in the Expedia price. You could pay extra for a cooked breakfast if wanted but there was really no need. The location, for Stow on the Wold, couldn’t be bettered. Downstairs had some ‘rustic charm’ which was fine, just the right side of characterful. Unfortunately our room was not so great. It was small - I guess that’s the price we paid so I can’t really complain about that. But our view was just of the fire escape, the curtain rail was falling off the wall and the floorboards were so uneven and squeaky that it made us worried how much noise we were making just walking in the room. But our main issue was the noise outside our room. Our door was immediately adjacent to another bedroom door, to the point that it sounded like they were coming in our room every time they opened their door. Which they did a lot, even in the small hours. When they talked outside our room it sounded like they were in our room talking to us. And just outside the room was a fire door which banged every time it closed, which was often. We could hear the cleaners vacuuming at 7am and the constant hum of a communal milk fridge just outside the door. Obviously I’ve no idea what the other rooms are like - maybe we just had the one bad one. But it was a shame because the other aspects of the hotel were good but we wouldn’t go back based on the state of our room (called Roe).
